Liquidation Sale Hl Leonard Deluxe Model 805 8' 3/2 #5 Limited Time 55% Off [o54PuXTe]

For sale here is a scarce H.L. Leonard Deluxe Model 805.  8’ 3/2 for a 5 weight line. This line of rods was only produced in 1984. The rod remains in excellent+ condition with minor signs of use. An acrylic finish devised by Walt Carpenter gives a truly lustrous straw colored surface; lemon yellow silks tipped hunter green is a nice departure from their more standard designs. Blued guides. Carboloy stripping guide. Ring hook-keeper. The script remains bold and clear. Mildly swelled butt. The previous owner strangely removed the original tissue paper from the cigar grip but left the narrow tape in place on the cork. It will be left to the next owner to remove or keep. Elegant nickel silver cap and ring reel seat with the traditional butternut spacer. Leonard stamp on the butt cap. Ferrule sizes 15/64 and 9/64, the fit is nice and tight as it should be. The rod weighs 3.95 oz. Leonard described the rod in their catalog as offering "a crisp medium action pleasing to most anglers." 

Includes original bag and Maxwell-type tube with Leonard logo die stamp. Also included with the sale will be a copy of the relevant page from 1984 Leonard catalog. It is quite rare to see a rod from this series come up for sale. Don't miss out!
